Amy is in the house!

Crawley Happy Times were graced with a visit from Amy Othieno who bought us a copy of her latest album.

Amy has been singing since she could talk and is now on her second album. Amy, a local artist, recently released some great songs on her new album ‘Tryna Get By’. We first met young Amy at the Black History Event at the Hawth back in October ’09 where she sang for the audience which included special guest, Kezia Obama, stepmother of US president Barack Obama.

Amy is very passionate about her music, writing and compiling all her own songs. Amy told us “I try not to stick to one type of music as being labelled as a reggae, rap or hip hop artist can limit the audience you can play too. Times constantly change within the music industry and what the public like so it’s nice to keep moving with the times”.

Amy has played in many clubs and events but is now looking to break into the recording studios with a record label behind her. We feel with Amy’s commitment and drive this will be around the corner at this rate.

We asked Amy where people can purchase her album. Amy said it is in various shops in Crawley or you can contact her via email amyothieno@yahoo.co.uk.

Amy had heard of someone else famous in Crawley and was excited to meet them. We are, of course, talking about CHT Finger Puppet!

Shelley interviewed Amy in the CHT offices and here it is for you to see
